Let's begin with an introduction! I am Krimm, formerly known as ~Manaphy~ and sometimes known as Kamon to certain people. I am the head director of The Generations Crew, a group of dedicated spriters and scripters from all over the world. We come together to create brand new games to become the next generation of fangame making!

Pokemon NeoEras in basics is a Pokemon fangame, as you can probably tell by now. However Pokemon NeoEras isn't your generic fangame, as we are working hard to present you a brand new generation, following all past trends aswell as offering a barage of new features. From new Pokemon to an expansive new region, NeoEras offers it all!

Now without further adieu~

Pokemon NeoEras, of course, will feature a brand new Storyline. While our goal is to create a game that follows the trends of the official games, we are breaking apart this time by making the storyline more in-depth. I'm going to give you a rundown without ruining everything!

It all begins on a fateful day that your mother decides to move the family, you, your sister, and your grandma to the newly industrialized Region of Outa. Living in the bustling Oceanshore City in Iouso, your mother longs for a small town life, which leads you to moving to a small uneventful town in South Outa, known as Ophia Town.

Upon arriving you encounter Amy, a young and brilliant girl who is also the daughter of Professor Eliwood, a studier of Pokemon Habitats. Amy, being a girl loving to test those around her, quickly asks you to run down to Trivot Town, a small town south of Ophia Town, to receive a parcel. Upon receiving the parcel, she thanks you and asks you to do one more favor. The parcel is actually a backpack of her father's studies. She informs you that she was supposed to take three Pokemon on a walk to her father's lab on Route 1 but she didn't have enough time, so she asks you to take one along with her to her father's lab ( to get the job done quicker ). Trying to make a good impression, you walk the Pokemon to the Professor's lab, where your life changes forever...

The Outa Region Map
http://img360.imageshack.us/img360/2413/outacq9.png
~~Southwest of Hoenn~~

Along with a new Story, NeoEras features a brand new region, Outa. Outa is a expansive and tropical region located just a few miles southwest of Dewford Town, Hoenn. Being new to industrialization, Outa is very scenic full of points of interests and of course a brand new League to challenge! For those who can't tell, Outa is loosely based off of the real life island in Japan, Okinawa. The name also partially derives from the actual island's name. Okinaway is very scenic, full of caves and beautiful beaches, much like Outa is.

*The Region Map is subject to change

Everyone is welcome to contribute their opinions and ideas to help Pokemon NeoEras grow!

Now how can you help? Various ways of course! We are completely open to Sprite Donations! While we are still willing to accept new Pokemon, there aren't that many empty spots left in our PokeDex, so you'll have to really impress to get it in. And what kind of thread would this be without a spriting tutorial to get you guys interested? Below you can find a complete spiting tutorial written by Nashia, an Ex-Generations Crew member and previous spriter for NeoEras. Show us your sprites!

Hey everyone! Lately, I noticed that many members want to sprite pokes, what is great; but, although the ideas are good, some sprites could use a little work. So I decided to post here the steps I used to make this pokemon here --> http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a122/lobisgirl/part71.png Kinda like a spriting class, so let's get going...


1. Ok, so the first thing you need is an idea, you should first get a mental picture of the poke before you start drawing it (Note: For spriting I use Paint.net, but you can do this too with MS Paint for example, so don't worry).

However, when I did this I didn't had an idea done, so I just invented at the same time I was drawing it.

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a122/lobisgirl/part1.png --> http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a122/lobisgirl/part1_2.png (Eye added) --> http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a122/lobisgirl/part1_3.png (Second eye added) --> http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a122/lobisgirl/part1_4.png (Thing on the side added)

....................................................

2. When you got your outline done, you gotta clean it, like no "doubled squares" or stuff like that, and a tip, try not to make strait lines, giv'em some curves.

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a122/lobisgirl/part2.png (After cleaning process and some changes)

..................................................

3. OK, now you got your outline done, clean and ready to color! Paint it with the colours you want, of course, but try not to use black (instead of it use a very dark grey) or colours like this green --> http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a122/lobisgirl/green.png (it stings your eyes) unless you really have too.

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a122/lobisgirl/part3ee.png (After coloring)

....................................................

4. Now that you got your main colors picked up it's time do shade (this means improving your pokemon by adding light and shadow to your sprite)! Note: I use to do the shadow first, then the light; but I guess you can do them by any order

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a122/lobisgirl/part4.png (Shadow added)

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a122/lobisgirl/part5.png (Light added)

Hard to see the difference right? It will get better when you paint the outline.

.............................................

5. Now you're thinking "Man, this thing is done!" and I say "Absolutely not!". You still need to change the colours of your outline, or the shading won't look so impressive.

Note: Choosing the colors for your outline is simple;

For the "shadow" parts of the outline pick a colour a bit more dark that the color you used to paint the shadow in your poke;

For the "middle" parts of the outline (this is, where the sprite has no light nor shadow) pick the color you used to paint the shadow in your poke;

For the "light" parts of the outline pick a color a bit more light than the one you used to paint the middle parts of the outline.

Of corse, there's exceptions, as you will experience when you get more practice. ;)

Before outline --> http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a122/lobisgirl/part5.png

After outline (just in the pink part) --> http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a122/lobisgirl/part6.png

See the diffrence now?

...............................................

6. And there you have it! After the outline, the sprite is done.
Of course, you can change somethings in the end like I did ::)

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a122/lobisgirl/part71.png --> Sprite done, ready, finito, pronto... whatever

(Bell rings. Class is over)


Now if we don't want a lot of New Pokemon, what do we want? Sprites of older Pokemon! Make your own custom poses! Hey, we're even looking for shinies which are available in our game! Also, instead of New Pokemon, we are also looking to add Prevos and Evos of older Pokemon to our game.

..................................................

That's not all we're willing to accept! NeoEras is also welcome to small areas that can add to and make gameplay that much more interesting! Keep in mind, small areas, not entire cities or routes. Think unique cool places, such as underground sewers, hidden houses, secret meadows, etc.

If you'd like to contribute an area, use the small form below:

Type of Area: Obvious
Area Name: Give us something cool and unique!
Purpose: What's its point of being in the game?

..................................................

We hope you all donate to improve NeoEras! And of course, we will give credit! :3

The Generation Crew
Everyone on the team are great and amazing contributors who basically fuel the game. Without them, none of this would be here!

Archayos
Being my scripter and putting up with my endless 'what's?' XD And of course I'm thankful for the endless favors he's done for me such as the title screen, fogs for areas that he likes to name after Mimi from Digimon, etc. I truly can't even begin to describe everything he's done for me.

Poccil!
A "What?" kind of guy. I mean seriously, what kind of person makes something that benefits humanity (or me lol)? I truly owe him A LOT for NeoEras wouldn't be possible without his amazing starter kit.

Kyledove
Having amazing tiles XD Thanks to him for the scattered tiles of his that I am using, most notably picket signs and various other things I'm forgetting to mention. Thanks!

Hiroshi Sotomura, Neo-Dragon, Archayos, Waudby, Wichu, OmegaGroudon, and Zel
For giving me endless inspiration to continue the project and enhance everything I have. I love all of your projects/hacks, so keep up the good work! : D


Don Patch & PHO
Once more, seriously amazing tiles. Thankfully he allows people to use his tiles, and by this I'm crediting him and PHO for the tiles.


Atomic Reactor
Thanks a ton to him for contributing his Door Animations to the project! Now less of our doors will have lame place-holder doors! Thanks Atomic Reactor! :3


Clonex25
Thanks for solving my Music problem! Clonex25 has remixed a lot of the great G/S/C tunes and has allowed us to use them :3 Thanks again Clonex!


Asuran
A few scattered tiles :3 thanks man!

Wow its back finaly. That really great. I love the screens and those tiles you're using its awesome. Keep up the good work!

[Mitchman]

Wow nice. Also hmm nice pun with the outa thing. Its the outa region of hoenn right?

[O.G. Duke]

Yeah finally get approved! Looking good. Can't wait to see more screenshot!

[Archayos]

Finally. o_o; Took you more than a long while Pumpky! >_<;

Either way... Why haven't I seen these screenshots before?! I can't believe you were hiding so much from me... Anyway, about the blue pathways on the Region Map, are those waterways or what? Or do you have to use surf to get through? I'm guessing the latter.

Lookin' good like always, although I'm too sleepy right now to actually begin critiquing the storyline. Get prepared for that in my next post! :3

Outa Region... of... Hoenn? o.O; No, it's a completely new region, not a... region of a region or something. It's SOUTH of Hoenn, if that's what you mean.

[Saidai No Soba-Ya]

it looks great --- love the way you did the forest and cloud shadows XD!!

[Vampire://Krimm]

Wow o_o I'm surprised it got approved already. But then again, I guess I'm not lol.

:3 Because I've literally got a folder that says "Hide from Twoie" lool jk jk.

I can't exactly see much to critique on the story XD Seeing as how, that's only the introduction. But I guess you could find somethings heh *pokes Twoie*

Anyway, thanks guys for the comments ^_^ They really made my morning~

I'm still debating about with what to update next with..hmm. Anyway, soon enough I'll be opening donations. Yes, you can literally donate things through this thread! From generic ideas, to Pokemon, whatever hits your head! Though I'm only going to open that with my next update which may be sometime next week or if it's something good then possibly next Friday...

Oh, and yes, the blue routes are surf routes. Which by the way everyone, the Outa map is almost destined to be changed so it will look right in game. Plus a few of the towns and cities I've mapped already don't fit with their size according to the map, so yeah xP

*jumps off*

[riceeman]

Looking good! I like the tropical feel of it, and how it's all nicely done with a nice new character.

[DaSpirit]

That's really cool!!! Pecha Forest makes the game feel much more realistic. The PokeMart also gives you that "new feel", really cool. The only thing I'd like to see is some more custom tiles.

[Neo-Dragon]

Ah damn, I wrote out a nice post to ya, but the pokecommunity gave me an error as it posted :(. I'll try recap what I said lol.

"Glad to see this game is back, I really liked it when I first saw it. Thanks for saying I inspire you, means alot to me! Cheers.
I laughed when I saw the flat screen TV on the wall in the hero's house lol. Neat. The fog adds a nice touch to the forest map (as do the clouds in your sig.). Is that part of the random weather?
Anyways, looks good, sounds good, so I wish the G. Crew akk the best with this one!"

[Vampire://Krimm]

Thanks guys! ; D I really appreciate the comments!

@ DaSpirit: Heh, thanks! The custom tiles are actually a work in progress at the moment XD This past month of pre-working has been mostly focused on getting the outline and feel for the game completed.

@ Neo-Dragon: I hate that! lool. Now I don't feel like such an idiot for saving my thread information twice before sending it to Avatar to be approved lol. And thanks for your support ^_^

Alright, the thread is doing incredibly well which is slightly surprising to me. But of course, this is very good XD In any case, I've decided to give you guys a little bit to look forward to.

I've officially began preparing for the first update which is going to be pretty neat, and hopefully all of you will like it. However, I will only release the first update when this topic reaches 27 Replies in total. Only 27, and once you reach 27 replies I will reveal the cool update! : D

But of course to put some more pressure on you guys to make it there, I've decided to reveal a shadow of a mysterious new Pokemon found in the Outa Region! If you can guess it correct (which I doubt is possible), I'll give you something special~!

Edit to Update: By the way everyone~! Saiyu, a former Generations Crew members has been added to the listings! She's not only a really creative person, but she's also my friend outside of the internet! :3 Welcome her! (she may be joining PC soon...)

[/css-div]

[O.G. Duke]

Let me guess. Is it something like bug/flying type pokemon? Its blur, hard to guess.
Can't wait till 40 post!

[Archayos]

Your story is all wrong! You've just given out an introduction to it, with no hints to the plot whatsoever. THAT IS JUST UNFAIR! I wanted to critique the story, but there's nothing to critique! *raises fist*

Anyway, looks like you're using my system of updating. O: I'd have objected, but it's OK since I'm the owner too. But what OG's saying is correct; don't blur out the images! It becomes tougher to guess them out that way! I'm guessing it's Flying and... um, it's red in color.

[Saiyu]

Hey guys : D

Enter Saiyu! The Newest Member of the Generations Crew~!

lol jk. I felt a Pokemon Entry. Although I can't do much, for some reason Krimm keeps me around. I guess I'm just the comedy relief character. But I still hope I can help.

I can't wait to get to know all of you guys!

[Yuoaman]

That is awesome man, though there isn't much to critique as Archayos said... and that blur.... is it.... a.... bat-thing-sort-of?

And if you are looking for other members for NeoEras I would be willing to help.

Good job Krimm!

[Vampire://Krimm]

*falls over*

40 was a bit much. I've decided to hold off on this larger update, so I'm going to rescale the replies to 27. Once we reach 27 Replies I'll have the next update! :3

[Archayos]

27?! D: That's a lot too. You should be ashamed, keeping your loyal fans waiting! (look who's talking...) Also, it seems as if you've totally ignored my comment on your storyline. You need to reveal more! >=|

[Vampire://Krimm]

*shrug*

I know, I know. But it'll be an awsome update. And of course along the way there I might show off a screenshot or two of cool places! ;D

*points at old update* By the way, the new update now not only features a shadow but also a screenie of a beachy location~ Plus a guy talking about Slateport City...is Outa really that close to Hoenn...?

More screenshots on the way! :3

I want an update! *Dances around like a madman* And once I get this assignment, I might even be part of the Generation Crew..... *gasps of amazement*

[Yuoaman]

You're making us wait!!! How cruel, we want to know now man!! Well anyway I cannot wait until the next update!

[lalala12]

The shadow looks like some sort of bat.
Okay nevermind it doesn't. Maybe it's a flying dark/ghost type?

[DamianLeonhart]

I will help this along. I normally read every new post in Game Development each day, but take note of only certain projects that are in the making. This is one I will be adding to my list to watch. I am very impressed with how this is looking.

[Minorthreat0987]

So I was checking this thread out and when I got down to the screen shots, I said WOW, this is really really good. The mapping is really well done and the Hero looks awesome. I am looking forward seeing more screenshots and just receiving more info about this game. Good luck. I really enjoyed reading this thread.

[KurowaSan]

*Tries to force Krimm to give us an update*
Looking good!

Thank you guys! All of you, truly!

I'm really surprised it got this many replies in only the first 2-3 days (I forget ._.) without anything really interesting. As I promised, I will be posting the update. But Sadly, not right now.

I WILL begin the revelation in a few more hours, so no fear for it will be up later today. The only reason I'm not posting it now is because I'm not at my own house and I don't have everything that I want to show you yet.

Edit: Here's the update~

Alright members of Pokemon Community, It's your psychoticly scary neighborhood psychopath, Krimmsy here, reporting with an all new update regarding Pokemon NeoEras!~!

Currently I'm at my friends house, so I couldn't put as much as I wanted into the update, however the new shadows that you can see above should keep you occupied for awhile :D

Now before the full update, I have some VERY good news regarding the Generations Crew! Riceeman has officially become apart of the Crew! He has been helping me with various OverWorld Sprites, and he has officially agreed to join the team ^_^ So welcome him with open arms! I'm sure his OverWorld's will amaze you all!

Now without anymore waiting, I present you the Update~!

*---*

Below is the shadow revealed! Behold one of the new Pokemon found in Outa! But wait, doesn't that look like an older Pokemon? You tell me! PM me with your answer and whoever gets it correct will gain a trainer cameo!

http://img363.imageshack.us/img363/4784/banettedn0.png

Now I've got some special things for you guys! Below are some cool screenshots of assorted areas! I hope you like them :3

[Merovin]

Beautiful update.
Once again, great screenies. Great presentation.
And a great new Pokemon!!

Don't see why your suprised at getting so many replies.
It's a great project :)

[Vampire://Krimm]

Thanks Bob! ^_^

Again I'm sorry for the lack of an interesting update. *shrug* Now that the introduction and first update are done, I'm off to working on the project itself! Next time will be something a bit more detailed!

Oh and I've decided to go against using the Reply Number thing. I'll update when time comes XD But of course I might show off some screenshots here and there...

Until later,
Krimm~

[bian]

Good game!!!

hope you released the beta so soon!!...

[HeavyOctillery]

I've been waiting for this thread to pop up; I'd been curious about the little teaser that was in your sig for quite some time.

And my curiosity seems to have paid off. :P The custom graphics are AWESOME. Definitely going on my support list.

[bian]

can i ask a question:

I know your not putting ALL the old Pokemon. But are you gonna putting some Pokemon
from Kanto-Sinnoh?

i know this is a stupid question :\ but i just want to know..

[Saiyu]

As a matter of fact, we are including some Kanto-Sinnoh pokemon ^^ But mainly ones you would see in a tropical climate. Besides, what would a fan-game be without old pokemon?

Krimm, I like how the update turned out! Even though I watched you make it...

I've run out of things to say >> Night everyone~!

[Maleficent]

Holy poke, that's amazing.
How long did it take for you to come up with this, it's utterly amazing!
I must join this as soon as it is up.

However, I must have something to do with the script/ideas.
I can't do anything with Photoshop, but I can create great scripts.

Also, to the land/area/town naming.
I suggest for towns:
Sacria.
Murdrige.
Junae.
Glawe.
Daxok.
Foretu.

Land areas.

Mount. Murderock ( S/E of Murdrige)
The Cave of Inspiration ( in the center of Daxok).

Places:
Ash Forest.
Misty Lagoon.
Rock Park.
Dawn Hill.


Untill then, I will support the game all the way.

[lightou]

A very good game !

Your presentation & updates are so amazing !

Good luck dear !

[Archayos]

And you were saying that you wouldn't hit 40 posts. >>; I told you that you have that Shinygold factor! Anyway, that morning screenshot has inspired me to incorporate day/night into my game once again. Also... you can go to Slateport from Dewford? And will you be putting in any parts of Sinnoh? I think going to Canalave and having some kind of Darkrai event would be cool. :3
On a lighter note: 4 more replies for the big update, people! Even I don't know what it is, so that's all the more reason to get your lazy rears into posting!~

Also...

Userbars Galore!~

(Sorry about it not being orange, Krimmy. I just got bored of that color.)

[DamianLeonhart]

Archayos, nice banner. I added it to my sig. This game deserves a place there. The new regions Pokémon look like ones that might be found in any of the real games. Keep up the great work on this project. I would love to see it completed.

[Mitchman]

OOH post 39 the pre-final post to 40. Cant wait!

[RM2K3kid]

The game is looking great. It's all very well set out and excellent use of the starter kit. Can't wait to see more.

[riceeman]

Hey, Riceeman here just saying hi. I'm the newest member of the Generations Crew! So if you see any Custom Overworld Sprites, you can complain to me.

Nice banner by the way Archayos.

[Wichu]

Cool. Is that a Banette evo? It's a really nice sprite :D

[Atomic Reactor]

Wow, your mapping is great. The maps look amazing ^_^
the whole overall game looks good. it really makes it feel like summer outside lol.
i wanna go have some lemonade and go swimming =)

jsut one problem. the newest screenshots, the door on the lab is wrong. unless you want it to be red, it's suppose to be green though.
i have 8 door animations (including the green door) incase you want them?
PM me if you want those.

Keep up the amazing work!

[Vampire://Krimm]

Oh wow o_o Seriously, more and more replies everytime I log in XD

Thank you guys, a lot! I can't stress how much this project depends on you guys and various donators. I once more would like to thank everyone for supporting us!

I've also updated the Credits Section with Don Patch and Atomic Reactor for both contributing to the game. Thanks guys! ^_^

@Bian: The game isn't a hack, so there won't be a beta. However a Demo is definitely a possibility at the time, however right now I'm just working on getting the main chunks of the game done.

@HeavyOctillery: Thanks :3 I'm glad the teaser caught your interest!

@Libra: I'm really liking those names. Do you mind if I use them for some unnamed towns?

@Archayos: Thanks man! I've added your userbar to the main page! ^_^

@Rm2k3kid: Hey, thanks a lot! I didn't expect to see you reply~

@Wichu: Maybe : x The winner will be announced soon, everyone!

Alright, and if you didn't see what I posted earlier, I didn't plan on posting updates according to the thread replies anymore. But since Archayos over here said I still would on 40 replies, I'm going to show you something in a few hours. I'm currently working on the game so the screenshots will focus on what I'm updating.

Stay tuned for the revelation~! :D

[Mitchman]

Οh ok cool. Cant wait to see.

[Saiyu]

Breaking News!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Krimmsy just told me he's working on something Super Special Awesome to show you all! I don't even know what it is ;_;

Coming soon to a Theater near you!

Umm... Something called 'Revelation' is just a few hours away.

... Etc.

AH! I can't wait! -Jumps up and down in seat-

By the way: I changed my siggy again~! Besides the super awesome Eeveelution siggy(made by me) I now have a panda love siggy!(Also made by me) -gasp- but what's that panda-look-alike? It certainly doesn't look like a real panda. So what could it be?

[Vampire://Krimm]

Thanks guys for being so patient! I really didn't intend on releasing two updates so close to eachother, but since Archayos *poke* told everyone I would, which I didn't plan to, I decided to go ahead and show you guys what I've been working on today! Beware, as the screenshots might spoil some puzzles/places in-game!

Hey members of Pokemon Community! It's Krimmsy, your friendly neighbor who's back with a new update! Today I've got some previews of some cool things in-game, some edits to improve the quality of the game, and of course a sneak-peak at one of the many Puzzles in Pokemon NeoEras~! So let's get started with the updated improvements! But first, I shall announce the winner of the Evolution Contest!

KurowaSan was the first and correct Member to guess that the previously released sprite is a Banette Evolution! Kudos to him! KurowaSan, please PM me to get the Cameo Information! :3

Now, let's go!

http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/9470/messageboxgi9.png
Eww, it's that girl again!

Above you can see that: I've finally updated the message box! I personally thing the new yellow is adorable :3 But..I have to admit... after trying to get that message box to work, I've become all stab-knife like XD I swear it took me like an hour to get it to work right! *stabs knife in air* Oh, and thankies to Riceeman who made the OverWorld~

http://img114.imageshack.us/img114/8052/exitbuttonlolyq5.png
More of the useless Exit Button...

Hey look! It's that useless exit button! a modified Menu! As you can see I've still not removed the Exit Button given it a slight transparency! I've yet to add the information box below it, though.

*------*

Now Let's take a look at a few scattered screenshots, showing off not only new tiles and a new messagebox, but also a beautiful new trainer sprite done by Riceeman! Please ignore the Trainer Backsprite, we're still working on getting the Hero Backsprite done...

http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/7713/gettinglosear3.png http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/7888/bugcatcherba9.png

*-The Nugget Maze!-*

Now it's time for your first information on a specific area in Outa! But of course, it's a cool implementation but an annoying one to most. Welcome back the Nugget-thing idea! This time in Outa, it's an entire Maze (which believe me is annoying :3).

Rooollll the screenshots~!

http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/8940/nuggetmazenn4.png

http://img114.imageshack.us/img114/8397/battleel3.png

Puzzles here, Puzzles there, Puzzles, Puzzles everywhere!

Now, the Nugget Maze is a relatively difficult maze that leads to another town where the story continues, however as most of you know, the Nugget-things require you to battle trainers until you get to the last one where you earn a Nugget! Same applies to this Maze, but this time around you can take wrong turns and end up battling more trainers than you have to! Be careful, I hear the cut trees are rigged! D:

[css-div="color: #3366cc; font-weight: bold; font-size: 120%; border-bottom: 1px solid #555555; width: 80%;"]Oh Snapplez, a Contest![css-span="font-weight: normal; padding-left: 6px; font-size: 60%;"]It's easy guys, let's go![/css-span][/css-div]

Now what update would this be without a contest?! This one is nearly as easy as the previous one, but all it requires you to do is open up an Artist-like program and have fun!

Let's begin with the rules~! All you have to do is make a custom/scratch Pokemon Sprite of Dragonair, quite a simple Pokemon to sprite! Remember the sprite must be in a customized pose and must fit in the field of 64x64 Pixels! Here's a reference sprite:

http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/4595/pkfrlg148hn9.png

Not only will your sprite appear in-game and as a Gym Leader's Pokemon, but YOU will also be featured as an Event NPC in one of many optional Events (the winner will be given a choice). Not only will the winner gain a cameo (which is getting old lol) he/she will also get a Dratini when the final release of the game comes out (Note that Dratinis are uncatchable in Outa :D)

Submit all entries to me via PM! Please enter, guys!

Stay Tuned for the next update! As I said, I won't release it at a certain reply number, I'll release it whenever I think it's ready. And remember, the next update the shadows at the top will be revealed~!

I hope people actually partake in the contest. It would be nice to find someone who can sprite >>''

Krimm! You're revealing the shadows that soon? Why not leave everyone in suspense just to torture them! xD And I don't remember seeing that Bug Trainer Sprite. It looks good ^^

Okay, I'm going to find something to do to occupy myself, byez! -runs away-

(ooo... This lighter looks like fun...)

[Maleficent]

Vampy, I don't mind about you using the names at all. Always welcome to give more/script write.

Once again, great update. I'm especialy loving the Nugget Maze.

I am going to give a name or 2 for the shadowed pokes above.

One on the left.


Doredrag.
Sorce.



One on the right.
Morko.
Drafini.

Also, I have names for specific people.

Bug Catchers.
Honey.
Antony.

Rich Kids.
Richie.
Bill.
Mr. Rinkington.

Names for towns.

Sirenia.
Poret.
Seqa.
Carnio.
Plafva.

Names for areas.

Siren Generation Lab* ( In Sector 5)
Sector 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. (Sirenia)
Poret Tower** ( in the center of Poret)
Seqa River ( Outside the front of Seqa)
The 3 Tablets (Underground in Carnio)
The Underground (Carnio)
Plafva Volcano ( East of Plafva)

* Generation Lab for whatever you want.
This may be split down into other sections too.
** This may also be used for whatever you want.

A new script.

Carnio and Murdrige are always at war. At the cost of hundreds of trainers and pokemon, forced into battling this war, it was destroying what they are trying to save.

You see, The 3Tablets actually originated in Murdrige, but they were stolen by the rogue group known as Neo Pokemon. They hide out under Carnio, as a army.

Your job is, to try beat the entire troupe and get back the Tablets to Murdrige, then just maybe the war will be over.

I can add more later if you prefer.

[Vampire://Krimm]

Thanks for your comment, Libra. I'll definitely look into the ideas :3

If you guys have any questions or suggestions I'm completely welcome! Remember we're still open to new Areas if you guys would like to see your idea in our game!

Get those entries in, people! I even supplied you with a Spriting Tutorial on the main page!

[Mitchman]

Southwest. Hmm couldnt you make it south east so I can suggest connecting hoenn through the left most island by ever grande?

[riceeman]

Bug Trainer Sprite is mine. I'm making not just overworld Sprites but making custom trainers for the normal types of trainer. And I like the Nugget Maze too!

[Vampire://Krimm]

Attention: Alright guys, the Winner of the Dragonair Contest will be
announced TOMORROW, June 10th! All entries will not be accepted tomorrow,
so get them in today!

[Maleficent]

I'm dare we say...spritingly challenged. (Yes, I know it's not a word).

But, another suggestion.
Why don't we make Outa on a diffent hemisphere than the rest?
It add's originality.

Hey members of PokeCommunity! It's your agitated game maker, Krimm again ^_@ Back with a rewritten update that I did 5 minutes ago. So here's the rundown version.

Thanks to everyone who entered the Dragonair Contest! We got 5 Entriess in total!

Congratulations to the winner....

Entry #2 - Rm2k3kid~

http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/1407/dragonairwinnerdc8.png

The Reason why I chose Rm2k3kid's sprite for Dragonair is because it looks like
the literal evolution of Dratini, it doesn't look just like Dratini with wing ear things. I think
he did a good job of updating Dragonair into a more dragon like pokemon. Good job ^_^
Rm2k3kid, PM me when you're ready for the winnings details.

Alright, alright, I know it's a bit early for a video but this is to show you guys a map of mine in live action! Maresia City is the third city in the Outa Region, and is one with many things to do of course not all of them being things you can do right away. The reason I didn't click on the buildings on the upper right before the Underground Passage is because their spoilers and would have revealed an unreleased feature :3 I apologize for the lack of sound, however it wouldn't exactly matter seeing as how the music the city has right now is only a place holder until I can find a good composer. Enjoy~

Maresia City Video Tour (http://youtube.com/watch?v=0xK5J7-2h_8)

Oh and by the way, there seems to be confusion in the pronounciation of Outa.

Outa:
Oh-Tah
O-t-ah

Thanks :3

are we suppose to guess what the pokemon shadows are or something?

[Neo-Dragon]

Loved the video tour. I'm always so jealous of people using the starter kits in RmXP because they get to spend more time creating nice towns and populating them then I could. I loved the video mainly because your mapping looked really tight and tiles were well placed.
Good job.

[Vampire://Krimm]

:3 Thanks for the comments guys!

@ Neo-Dragon: Yeah, I understand what you mean :p And I'm still not very happy with the Maresia City Map. The Gym part is the area that's bothering me >_<

[Maleficent]

Well done sprite-maker ( what-ever your name is).

Nice city tour, could've donme with a bit more trainers though.

[Vampire://Krimm]

Southwest. Hmm couldnt you make it south east so I can suggest connecting hoenn through the left most island by ever grande?

Well I made it Southwest for two primary reasons:

A) Southeast is where Pokegen's Region, Gohir is located. Didn't want to interfere there~
B) Okinawa is located Southwest from the Japanese area that Hoenn is based off of (completely slipped my mind : p) and since all the other Regions are roughly in the same area as their Japanese counterparts, I thought it would make sense to do the same.

Plus, if you can't tell, Dewford Island is the first Hoenn area you access : p

Production News: Alright guys, the next update is COMING SOON. I can't garuntee when exactly, but it should be here quickly~ As for now, I'm currently trying to map one of my favorite cities in the game and I'm failing D: So there won't be much of an update in the mapping department unless I finish it today.

Oh, and I finished the first Gym's Setup, including puzzles, trainers, and of course everything about the Gym Leader. She's tough! : D

As for a Demo, I'm actually still debating whether or not I should release a demo... So there are a slight chance that you might see something in the next month or so.

-----------

@ Libra: Yeah, the City isn't fully done yet. And I'll definitely look into adding more NPCs around lol.

See you guys! Keep up the comments, the next update will be arriving shortly! : D

[PoKéMaKeR]

When I first saw this thread, i was stunned!!
you're doing a brilliant job man !
I really like your idea.. and how you work it out!
I hope to see some progress cause it would be a shame if this is discontinued!!
so keep up the good work!!
PoKéMaKeR

[Mitchman]

Oh dewford is availible. Also um could you tell me if pokegen is a completed game?

[RSLaehnart]

This looks so stunning that I think I might have had Thunder Wave used on me. lolz
This looks just great! Might I ask if the battle system is done? I'd like to know how you got it to implement the same style as the games...

PS: I had been going to enter that contest you had, but I only just found this thread and it was 2 or so days too late... I really had wanted a chance at it. Maybe you could do another? One for completely custom pokémon that could appear in the region? Just throwing suggestions out there...

[riceeman]

Yeah, another contest! I might win this time! Or not.... Anyways, looking as good as ever Krimmsy. Pm me whenever you need me to do anything else...

[Vampire://Krimm]

@Dark-Cookie: No, Pokegen is not finished.

@RSLaehnart: Thanks ^^ Pokemon Essentials has the battle system already done, so yes, however the Attack Animations aren't done yet. And yes, there will be another contest soon ^^ Maybe for an evolution.

your using the wrong layer of mountain.
on the corners and side of mountains you shouldn't see grass(when mountain is on top of mountain)
just thought id point that out.

keep up the good work!

[Minorthreat0987]

This game looks amazing I love the new pokemon and such. The screens/maps have a very realistic feel to them, one thing I'd like to point out is that the mountain steps you are using are the wrong ones. If you look at firered or leafgreen those particular steps are atually used for pathways that go down on the back side of a mountain, see Sevil Island 7's trainer tower for example. Just figured I'd point that out.

But other than that I really enjoy this game and look forward to reading it when you update.

Good Luck.

Nice point.

I suggest also adding a sign to the docks in screenshot 2.

And an name for the gym leader can be....Mirra.

[HeavyOctillery]

rm2k3kid made a really badass sprite, there. ^_^ In speaking of sprites, that toucan Pokemon in your sig, Krimm - can't wait to see what it does.

[Maleficent]

I wouldn't use bad-ass. I would use boom shaka laka as a description.

I think that toucan is like the Pikachu of Outa. Outa's mascot.

[Saiyu]

Krimm isn't online right now, so I feel like answering what I can for him~!

Atomic Reactor... Krimm actually wants grass growing out of the side of the moutains for some reason >>

Libra.. I think we have the Gym Leader's names planned out, but I still like that name ^^

Heavy Octillary and Libra.. I'm not quite sure, but I believe Toulav- the toucan- is Krimm's favorite pokemon in Pokemon Neo Eras :3 So it is fitting that it would be the mascot <3 I like it to, but its not my favorite of the new pokemon.. I can't say what my favorite new pokemon is because you wouldn't even know; it hasn't been revealed yet xD

Who are you?
His/her interpreter?


Anyways, I quite like that name too, it's a derivation of Mirror (duh).

[Saiyu]

Um... Not an interpreter.. Just part of the staff.. And I just like answering for people for some odd reason ^^

[Maleficent]

Um... Not an interpreter.. Just part of the staff.. And I just like answering for people for some odd reason ^^


Oh don't we all.
I sent a PM to Krimm, top secret.

[Vampire://Krimm]

@Atomic Reactor: That isn't exactly an error, but it more or less states your opinion on mapping. However it does look better with mountain sides, so thanks for pointing that out I guess lol.

@MinorThreat: whoops x_x I wouldn't have ever guess...I don't play those games XD Well, I've never beaten them. I loose interest too quickly lol.

@Libra: Good idea :D Like I said, the map is nowhere close to being finished. NPCs, finalizing the houses, tileset, etc, etc. So I'll defnitely add a sign! And as Saiyu said, the Gym Leader for the city is already completed, and she's an active leader, so there isn't much chance I'll be removing her lol.

@Heavy Octillery & Libra: Heheh :3 Saiyu is right, the Toucan currently is, and always was my favorite Pokemon in Outa. I don't know if it's exactly the mascot of Outa, because Outa has several mascots that take the mascot appearance, like Aipom in the title screen, the Toucan under the title, and Elatt represents the storyline of a new beginning, similiar to how Pikachu symbolized a new beginning in the anime.


And yes, as I've stated previously, Saiyu is staff, and at any time can answer the questions, unless of course she doesn't know them. Since for the most part, she probably already knows what I would say : p

Thanks for the comments guys! I'm working really hard to bring you guys something special for the update! Just wait! lol.

[iPredator]

I can color, I use photohop CS3.

I'm going to make a Pokemon sprite now

[Saiyu]

I use Photoshop CS3, too :3 But I'm bad at making pokemon sprites on any program.

Oh my gosh... Nobody's even on at this hour. (10:00 a.m. here) But I can't go back to sleep ;_; and none of my friend's are online.

[riceeman]

None of your friends? *Goes off in a stress* Hehehe.

Anyways, looking good, like always. To keep this from being spam, i agree with all who said the cliff tiles are slightly wrong. But everything else in those screenies look fine, so well done Krimmy!

[Atomic Reactor]

o my bad, i just assumed it was a tile error.
you know what would be cool?
if you edited those tiles to make it look like grass had started to grow out of the side of the mountain!
just a suggestion,
^_^
keep up the good work

[J3ST3R]

it looks good but are you gonna make a story line based around a legendary or the pokemon L. or what?

I like the tiles though

[Vampire://Krimm]

Hey guys, just checking in! Sorry I haven't posted the update yet, I'm still working on it D: But I know you'll love it! In any case I'm working on a lot of mapping right now and going back to edit a bunch of things.

Archayos our scripter has donated a few new tunes for the game, and all of them are extremely good~

Right now I'm about to head off to pick up the ol' pencil and start drawing some art for the next update...

Here's a quick screenshot for you guys~ :D

http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/7741/surfingng6.png

[KurowaSan]

Nice screens, I remember the name Friagua City. lol

[RSLaehnart]

I like the rocks in the water in that last screen. It give an illusion that they are made of different types of stone. Well done! ^^

[Vampire://Krimm]

loool

@KurowaSan: Yep, it's pretty much the same city still aswell :P Except the Leader's name is different x_x

@RSLaehnart: Yep, yep, that was the idea ^_^ I love making water routes, they're quite fun to mix up the area around them~

Right now I'm back tracking and doing heavy modifications to previous maps and old dialog. Stay tuned for the next update guys! Yes, I'm still working on it ^_@ But I'm sure you'll all love it~!

*-------*

Hey guys, I'm sort of stuck on redoing the Outa Region Map. Now, as you can see, I have my own custom graphics for the Region Map however I was wondering if I should revert back to the FR/LG style (since it is FR/LG based :P), or should I just keep on using mine? OR should I use the FR/LG STYLE, but keep my own custom town/city icons? I personally like the last option, but I'm asking you guys! : D

[Decypher]

I like the style of the current one.

[RSLaehnart]

I like the current one as well. A few small changes could be made, but mostly I think it looks better than the FR/LG ones.

On the larger cities and towns the little silver dots can overlap the red blocks and still look nice.
I'm not entirely sure what the little green block is for..?
The water in the background, how you have it in ovals, might look better if you switched it with the FR/LG background. (you know the blue bars? But maybe in a different shade...)
Some of the shading on the underside of the land masses make it look like there's a cliff at the bottom of every piece of land; it's because of the shade of that brownish-green used there.
The only other thing I can say about the town map is that everything on the main land looks really close together. There, I nit-picked your town map. lol I hope this helps.

Oh, I was also thinking about your region name. You said it was based on Okinawa? I was thinking that maybe you should call it Oukita? It brings a bit more of it's base into the name and it doesn't remind people of the word 'outer'. It's just a suggestion anyway. I really like where this is going and I hope I've helped in some way after making this wall-o-text for you. lol ^^

Best intentions, and good luck!

[Archayos]

Yeah, RSLaehnart has a point. Outa sounds kinda like a pun on Outer, and besides, Oukita sounds a lot cooler. About the region map, I think it looks good the way it is. It isn't DP-style, and the FRLG style looks sick, so this is pretty original. My opinion counts, I'm the owner! >_<

[RSLaehnart]

I'm glad you liked the name idea Archayos. ^^ The only reason I really put it there was every time I read Outa it read it as Outer. lol

Now for what you've all been waiting for, the highly anticipated update for the week!

http://img396.imageshack.us/img396/9942/riandgiaei9.gif

The mysterious duo is revealed! What could they be? Legendaries? Or something more? All we have are names and a brief description of what they could rule over. Is the information correct? I certainly don't know~

http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff67/Craig_WM/neocenter.png

Let's roll the screenshots, however today we have some special sequential screenshots, so they aren't just your average run-of-the-mill snapshots! Pay attention closely, and tell me what YOU think is going on!

http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg249/Alco_Azura/sorosecity.png
Quick snapshot of a new city!

http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg249/Alco_Azura/GymLeader-1.png
A Gym Leader Revealed! But is she more than just a Gym Leader?! Keep looking to find out...

http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg249/Alco_Azura/RocketBase.png
It looks like you won't be getting past him being just a trainer....

http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg249/Alco_Azura/What.png
But what if you're a Team Rocket Grunt?!

http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg249/Alco_Azura/PlotTwist.png
whaaat?!

But wait, didn't Team Rocket disappear years ago, far before the events of Team Galactic in Sinnoh? That's strange... Wait, where IS this base? And why is a Gym Leader there? o_o

http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff67/Craig_WM/neocenter.png

http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg249/Alco_Azura/Lapras.png

Sorose City Gym~
While the second agenda of the Gym Leader, Seiya, is unknown, she still poses as the Gym Leader of the gloomy and rainy city. Seiya is a Water Type gym leader, so it's in your best interests to bring out electric Pokemon and grass Pokemon to beat her. Of course this task won't always be easy, as she is the owner of various powerful Pokemon that know an array of attacks. Oh! Did I forget to mention that the NeoEras' Gym Leaders are harder than those in the official games? : )

http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg249/Alco_Azura/SeiyaGym.png

Her Gym doesn't look so easy now, does it? You'll have to be moving around continously to find all the correct switches to get the floating walkways to align correctly so you can make your way to the final battle.

http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff67/Craig_WM/neocenter.png

Pokemon NeoEras Official Website~! Click Here to Enter (http://neoeras.exofire.net/)

Oh wow, NeoEras now even has an official website! Can it get any bigger?! I have TREMENDOUS thanks to the new Crew member, Decypher, who came to me asking if he could help. And in the end, he ended up designing this lovely home page for our fangame!

But don't go thinking we reposted information on the site! If you look around, you will be able to find various goodies that are exclusive to the Official Site. Oh, by the way, it might be in your best interests to book mark the official page if you like this project; various screenshots, information, and goodies will be released exclusively on the official site and not on the PokeCommunity Thread! Keep Watch guys! : D

http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff67/Craig_WM/neocenter.png

Well I'm Krimm, and this has been your Super-Big-ish Update from Pokemon NeoEras~! If you guys have any ideas for the game, you're free to shout your ideas and the thread! Who knows, it may even be added! : D

Thanks a ton to everyone who's contributed so far ^__^

-And finally, stay tuned as a Shadow of a New Pokemon will be released in the posts to come~!

Pokemon is welcome to join us! We're highly interested in getting
some arts for new Pokemon to spice up the updates!

Now we are also looking for a Music Composer! If you can modify/edit or create your own
Pokemon Themed music, you're welcome to join us! : D

[riceeman]

Awesome update Krimm! I love the new pokemon, the gym looks great and being able to dress up as a Team Rocket Grunt...pure class! Pm me if you need any more Overworlds or sprites.

[Neo-Dragon]

Ah sweet. Those 2 new Pokemon look really good. I'm guessing they are legendaries. Are you following the Pokemon "mythos" or are you coming up with your out set of legends for the game. (Like is it going to be the same of the official games' storyline of what each legendary has done or created?).
How do you get the uniform? You beat me to the punch on something I had down the pipeline lol.
I can't guess really what's happening.... Your in a hideout, thats all I can figure out ha.
Good update.

[BassMan5t9]

This is looking great. Ill be supporting you all the way or as much as i can.

BTW i noticed in all of your screenies with the menu open that there was no pokedex. Is the purpose of this one not to see them all?

[RSLaehnart]

A gym leader part of Team Rocket..? Can this game get any better? But wait - There's more! harder gym leaders, array of moves, sounds awesome!
Here's an idea, how about you add in some unofficial gyms to! They did it in the anime, why not here?

[Chosen_of_Manaphy]

Cool game! Looks pretty smooth.

[Maleficent]

Oh yes.
The website has been made.
WORLD DOMINATIOOOOOOOOOOONNN!!!!!


Anyways...


Ria and Gia, you used the body poses of Dialga and Palkia.
Sneaky.
They look too Mardi Gra like, though.


The new city, looks like a town which...does not have a gym leader.
I love the braids in that girls hair.


Seiya...why am I thinking of Saiyu....
I love how she looks, and her ever-so secret agenda.
However, hasn't that been used by: Sabrina, Giovanni and Lt. Surge?

Keh!

I love how the Team Rocket grunt show's himself in plain view.

And... I GET TO BE A GRUNT?! ROXRSLOLLMAOROFL!!!!!

And, I wuv the base.

I will beat the gym leader, just give me a download!

My two cents.

[Vampire://Krimm]

Hey guys, thanks for all the comments ^_^ I can tell we're getting somewhat popular since I've already seen 2 other games with the same first post setup as we do lol. Oh well, they all look good ^_^

It's time to answer some questions and release the Aftershock of the update, the new Shadow~! Let's begin!

@Neo-Dragon: lol, sorry about that. I've just been having too much fun with the Change Hero Graphic command loool.

@Bass-Man: That is mainly because we're still -testing- things, however I CANNOT pormise that the PokeDex will for sure be in the final game. It may be replaced by something else or perhaps nothing at all : p but chances are it'll still be there.

@RSLaehnart: if that's what you believe~ : D I plan on releasing more confusing screenshots of the plotline to mix up things. But I'll tell you this, Seiya is definitely a character that'll be showing up more than once.

@Libra: >.o Yes, I knew someone would see that. Believe it or not, Ria and Gia were sprited before D/P was even announced, let alone released so I have no intentions with removing it. Same thing with our Chansey prevo D: Stupid Nintendo!

Seiya was named before Saiyu even became Saiyuri : P

And what do you mean it looks like a town? : x If you're talking about the map itself then you're wrong lol. It's actually rather big, I've only shown like 3 screenshots of it XDDD

You will, I didn't say they were unbeatable, just tougher :3

http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/7084/whosbe5.gif

As for your Progress update, I'm remapping a few maps I've done mainly because I don't like them. That, or just completely editting them : p I'm also going to begin work on the updated Outa Region Map and make it a bit more exotic loool.

And hopefully the revelation of this Shadow will trigger some brain power in you guys later on ^_^ You'll see what I mean soon~

[ryushin5]

that shadow it looks like a bird or a dragon could be legendary or it could be an evolve form of noctowl intresting hmmmmm?

[Naoi]

The screens and Pokemon r good, but I found an error:
http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg249/Alco_Azura/RocketBase.png
U 4got to put a capital "B" where it says below.

[Vampire://Krimm]

Hey, thanks Eeveon ^_^ I'll get on fixing that.

[DamianLeonhart]

Sweet update. I like where this game is going. I like the "Who's that Pokémon" you have going on here. I like the legendaries, or what I think are legendaries. Overall, a fantastic update as usual.

A gym leader part of Team Rocket..? Can this game get any better? But wait - There's more! harder gym leaders, array of moves, sounds awesome!
Here's an idea, how about you add in some unofficial gyms to! They did it in the anime, why not here?

For the record... Giovanni, the original gym leader of Viridian City, was the leader of Team Rocket. While it is a great idea, it has been done before. :p

[riceeman]

I don't think she's a member of Team Rocket. I think she's disguised herself as a Team Rocket Grunt like the Hero.....

[ryushin5]

well you never know she could be a double agent

[Vampire://Krimm]

Wooo, 100 replies : D

*celebrates*

Thanks for all the support, guys : ) I'll probably be getting back into the game working mode pretty quick here. I can't say the next update will be as large as the last one, but hopefully it'll be interesting ^_^

And as I said, if you guys have ideas for the game you're more than welcome to post them here as they may be added~!

[ryushin5]

just can't wait for the next update oh and will pokemon contest be in this i never really like them because you only did one move and couldn't combine three moves to make it look fantastic but i just want to know

[Maleficent]

Well, Little Miss Krimm, I think that you should sue Nintendo.

[Archayos]

Well, Little Miss Krimm, I think that you should sue Nintendo.


He's a guy? lool

Why should he sue Nintendo, by the way?

[Vampire://Krimm]

Mm,

blow of self esteem LOL. THANKS LIBRA D:

Anyway, hey guys, I'm really in need of a skilled spriter! What does this mean? I need a few more custom Pokemon to fill our dex, backsprites for our other new Pokemon, and minisprites for the Pokedex! By becoming a spriter you'll be the highest position next to me and Archayos and you'll get to see all of our new Pokemon and get the in-depth on everything about the game.

If you're interested, please PM me!

[Yuoaman]

Poor Krimm, lol. Well it's all looking great, and I do not have a clue why she's dressed like a grunt..... Is she..... SANTA?! Nah probably not, but maybe.... Well it's all looking great bud, cannot wait to see more!

[Vampire://Krimm]

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of flow lol.

Basically, I've noticed that a lot of other fangames are stepping up there game play so I've decided to do the same with NeoEras. This next week I'll be working nonstop on improving NeoEras with tons of new things such as new features, loads of new tiles (I mean loads), new events, modifications of older events, and of course, something incredibly special that I'll be announcing next weekend (hopefully). If anyone would like to help in this, please contact me if you're interested in contributing.

[Saidai No Soba-Ya]

oooo, this sounds exciting :P

Here:

Type of Area: Beach!!!
Area Name: Viewshore Beach
Purpose: there is a beach house where u get surf and the surfers,etc. on the shore give a TM depending on the pokemon 1st in your party!

hope u agree :P

[BassMan5t9]

I'd love to help but i can't do anything but do basic maps. I can't even connect them properly :( Is there anything i could do like look through maps to make sure there are no missing tiles or blockages of some sort?

~E~

[Vampire://Krimm]

Hey guys, I'm stopping by really quick to show off a preview of what's coming : D

Just a sample, of course : P

http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg249/Alco_Azura/New-4.png

[Yuoaman]

Nice screen Krimm, your game is just doing great, just great!

*Begins pulling ideas off of thread for own use*

...Just Great...

*Closes sack of ideas*

Great Job!!

*Runs away*

[Atomic Reactor]

this game is looking better and better!
you did a simple event command to change your characters graphic right?
that's pretty intense.

keep it up with this great work =P

[RSLaehnart]

Those trees look new...
I like them. ^^

[Vampire://Krimm]

Hey guys, here to let you know that I'm still working on everything o_o

o___o

^Above is what I look like after 5-o-clock pm when I get off the PC after working on NeoEras.

This coming update is really special! I have the main idea planned out and of course it's going to be featuring loads of cool new shiny screenshots and of course a mouthwatering piece of artwork that'll hopefully force NeoEras to the center of your hearts >:D

And @RS Laehnart: First one to say anything x_x News on those in the next update~!

BYE THA WAY: I'm looking for a PokeDexer o_O Anyone who can create Movesets correctly, stats, Pokedex entries, name Pokemon, height, weight, species, etc, etc, is welcome to the team! Not only will they be rewarded with seeing ALL of the new Pokemon, but they'll also be kept informed like a Co-Owner ( basically knowing everything that's going on ).

Oh, oh, oh! You guyz might want to keep an eye on the Official Website! Not saying what for though ;3

Later guys : P,
--Krimm

[Atomic Reactor]

uh... im confused.
what exactly does the pokedexer need to do?

add new pokemon?

0_o ?

[Yuoaman]

A Pokedexer names Pokemon; gives realistic stats, movesets, etc...; and makes up Pokedex entries and dimensions. And Krimm, I could do that, do you have an application I can fill out, to prove I can do it?

[Maleficent]

Ooh, I can be a PokeDexer.

[riceeman]

I could give a shot at being a Pokedexer as well if you want....

[Vampire://Krimm]

Yuoaman is correct. You see we're in the process of adding the new Pokemon into the game and we'll be needing someone who can give us the information we need ( even though we still need backspriters >.o )

Those who are interested, PM me and I'll give you a test :3
(BTW not all of the Pokemon require names and PokeDex entries, those few however still required stats and movesets)

[marinos519]

IS It just me or do Ria and GIa look like Lugia?

[H2O Turquoise]

I personally think Ria and Gia are Dialga and Palkia in different forms : /

[Vampire://Krimm]

*pounces back in*

lol. People are so creative sometimes. :3 The secrets of Ria and Gia remain~! For all you know they could be wild Pokemon in the first route (though obviously they arent : P)

Now for what you've all been waiting for (no, it's not the update, the second thing you've been waiting for...), the release of the sillohuette! INCLUDING some juicy information :3

Iceegle <--
http://img122.imageshack.us/img122/6163/iceeglezt1.png
Flying/Ice
Species: Icicle Pokemon
PokeDex Entry: ICEEGLES are often mistaken to be ARTICUNO
in snow storms, attracting travellers to them.

-----

Now, will someone PLEASE tell me that they realize what's wrong with this picture? An ice Pokemon on a tropical island? >_>

Stay tuned! The update is being worked on! And so far so good, Yuoaman has volunteered for the PokeDexer position and has taken the practice test. So far his data has yet to be graded, but we'll keep you guys posted as to if he makes it on the team.

See you until the next update (We won't let you down with it!),
--Krimm

[ryushin5]

there could be some climate changes in some certain areas on the island that some ICEEGLES could live at thats what i'm thinking

[PoKéMaKeR]

What code did you use to change the look of the player into the rocket grunt?
PoKéMaKeR

Edit: Nevermind, already found it out..

[Yuoaman]

I believe it is found deep in a cave inside a mountain?

Also; isn't Iceeagle a little weird for a name? 'Cause the two 'e's kind of ruin it, maybe "Iceagle" (rhymes with Icicle)....

I really like the sprite though.

[riceeman]

I agree with Yuaoman. The sprite is awesome, but a more suitable name would be Iceagle. May i ask, who made that sprite?

[Vampire://Krimm]

Heya guys!

They're all good guesses as to where Iceegle is found but none of them are right on the bull's eye : )

And Iceegle is pronounced the same way as Iceagle is, so I don't really see a point in changing it x_x *shrug* You people are so critical! loool jk.

@Riceeman: Pokemon NextGen's old spriter, Nashia. She's a close friend of mine that was working on the project since the very very first incarnation (Elatt was actually the first Pokemon ever to be accepted of hers). She was sort of a spriter extraordinare that no one knew about but she disappeared (Well, lost interest. I still know where she is lol). Believe it or not most of our sprites are done by her. A lot were done by Novoni as well.

I'm glad everyone likes the sprite :3 It's one of my personal favorites of our Pokemon so I decided to post it up.

Stay tuned for the update, guys : D It'll be here soon! So far the latest that it will be up is Monday, perhaps sooner depending on when I can get to a scanner.

[Yuoaman]

Cool can't wait for the update. And the reason I prefer Iceagle over Iceeagle, is that if pronounced phonetically will sound like "Icy-Gul" rather than "Ic-a-gul" as I believe it is supposed to be pronounced...

[Atomic Reactor]

woot! can't wait for the update!

o, and the sprite looks nice... but i think some parts of the outline should be darker =/

[RSLaehnart]

Iceeagle just doesn't sound right to me. I'd try something more along the lines of Eaglice. It just flows better that way. Sprite looks awesome. Also I think that it could be found deep in an underwater cave or something like that.

Ria and Gia are still as illusive as ever. I just don't know what to think about them.

[BallisticBlastoise]

Yo what's up Krimm? I was editing some sprites and I noticed that a good bit of pokemon are not gonna be used in my game. I also realized that you need some new pokemon so here's my donation. I know alot of them are unfinished but with a little creativity and a decent spriter you could make them into great pokemon.

Alright everyone, it's that time atlast! It's nearly been 15 days since the last update and I assure you I've been working on hard this new fantastic update!

I'm also incredibly pleased to see how well the thread is doing ^^ I'm even more pleased that people are beginning to scratch the surface behind Ria and Gia. Those two certainly aren't the run of the mill mythos duo : D

Now, I'm sure that everyone is wondering what makes this update SO special. Well, it's an announcement and revelation of the future of the project! So lets get it rolling!

http://img73.imageshack.us/img73/4829/newbattlesystemjx4.png

Bam! First things first, the game has been majorly modified! Above you can see spiffy new battle graphics. This is against a trainer on a pathway (thus is why the platforms are metal and not grass). When battling a trainer in the grass or a wild Pokemon, the platforms will be the grass ones. Oh, and you can also see I modified the stat bars and the message box : D

http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/4882/doublematchbp7.png

As an addition to the game's difficulty, there will be loads more double battles than before. Some trainers may look alone, but a secondary partner may even be hiding! Various specialty areas will also be set with double battles while you will get a partner (similiar to Diamond and Pearl)!

http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/7049/assortedareas2gy7.png http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/376/assortedareas1ko9.png

As NeoEras has been in heavy modifications in the past 2 weeks, various new areas have been added to the game. Not only have areas been added, but they've also been significantly rearranged providing a new fresh feeling to the game that changes up the gameplay. I would post an updated Region Map but that is still in the works D:

http://img73.imageshack.us/img73/356/storylines1wm4.png http://img73.imageshack.us/img73/3518/storylines2fj9.png

Now, along with modifications there have been HUGE enhancements to the Storyline. This ALSO includes the introduction. More on the new beginning events later as they would reveal plans for after NeoEras :) And for the someone (I forgot) who said that the guy infront of the gym seems fishy, he's not D: It's Mason G's brother, Mason F! lol, can someone see the next Nurse Joy/Officer Jenny? You'll understand more about the Mason's in the game lol. Oh, oh, oh! By the way, loads of new tiles have been added! Thanks a ton to Kyledove as primarily I've been adding his tiles (with color changes to match the previous FR/LG palette).


[css-div="color: #3366cc; font-weight: bold; font-size: 120%; border-bottom: 1px solid #555555; width: 80%;"]The True Update![css-span="font-weight: normal; padding-left: 6px; font-size: 60%;"]OMGWTFBBQ?![/css-span][/css-div]

Okay, srsly, did you REALLY think the huge update was just about..new tiles? And sexy looking new battle graphics? I CERTAINLY HOPE NOT! Now what exactly is so special about this update?

[css-div="padding: 2px 2px 2px 2px; border: none 1px #ff9966; width: 500px; background-color: #ffffcc;"]


Pokemon NeoEras is growing rapidly, publicity wise and game wise. We have various people interested in contributing to our game aswell as a great team already. So what does this equal up to? A Demo! Oh god, I bet you guys are sick of hearing that word from all the RMXP Games lol.

So now what exactly am I doing to run past all these run of the mill demos? How about reveal an entire installment? Enter Beta Installment 1, a semi-demo, semi-real game download that is beyond your generic demos that are "Walk route, enter town, battle first gym, end demo".

While the Beta Installment runs about the same length of a regular demo right now, it features a lot more. The Beta Installment is basically the game in a rough format all the way to the First Gym in NeoEras, which features 4 Towns/Cities, 4 Routes, and 1 Special Area which is a tad more than the generic demos. This being the rough game, there are no alternate beginnings, temporary place holders, none of that. You'll play the game like you would when it is done INCLUDING LOADS of new Pokemon that have never before been revealed. Thanks to Archayos who is willing to fully intergrate our Pokemon, this is possible! We're also interviewing a few interested PokeDexers who will soon be announced as apart of the Team!

Sadly, the Beta Installment IS NOT in this update. When it is revealed, is currently unknown however I can assure you it won't be "lol soon guyz *two months later* lol soon guyz". All that's left in this Beta Installment to be completed are the integration of the Pokemon and a few bugs in the eventing.

Sorry for writing a wall of text, but there is a bit more left in this announcement --

There is a catch, however, to play this Installment. NeoEras will be released in Installments that will be various lengths such as Gym 1 - 2, and then Gym 3 -4, and so on. In these patches, you'll be able to save your data, download the next Installment, and pick up where you left off (So basically you guys can play the game quicker instead of waiting for the full version). The problem is, that since this is a Beta of Installment 1, you WILL NOT be able to transfer your saved data to the real Installment 1 D: The purpose of this beta is for people to report bugs and offer suggestions so that the game will be improved.

However I assure you that there will be plenty of differences between Installment 1 and the Beta Installment, just so you guys won't be SO bored doing it all over again : P

[/css-div]

So, there's going to be an installment eh? So what about the starters, Krimm? > D

http://img79.imageshack.us/img79/5412/startersna0.png

*----*

JEEZ this is a big update! And of course, what kind of update would this be without a Contest? I see a lot of the Game Threads are liking my idea of having contests to get the audience interested >__>""

Now~ Just WHAT could this contest be? How about another Spriting Contest? We want to see your talent, PokeCommunity!

http://img79.imageshack.us/img79/5656/pkfrlg025tb4.png http://img165.imageshack.us/img165/6295/pkrs318or0.gif http://img79.imageshack.us/img79/4909/pkfrlg019sh1.png

You have a choice of spriting 1 of these three Pokemon! The rules are simple, and are fairly close to those of the Dragonair Spriting Contest. You must SCRATCH sprite one of these three Pokemon ( Or 2, or 3, it's up to you. It increases your chances of winning ) with a custom pose and it must fit in the 64x64 size box. Please keep these the correct size and not zoomed in by 200 like if I would add it to RMXP, this way I can judge the quality of the sprite easier. Once completed, send your sprite(s) to me via PM. You may also use the Spriting Tutorial that can be found in the main post of information on the first page.

The top sprite for each of these Pokemon will be included in the game and can be seen in the beginning routes of the game! The winners of the winning sprites will be awarded with an exclusive download the Beta 1 exactly 2 days before it is posted on the topic! Oooh~! lol. But that's not it! The winners will also receive ALL Installments precisely 2 days before they're released to the public.

This has been your Wall-o-Text Update! ^_^ I hope you liked it and you're all eager to send me your Sprites! lol Good luck to all entries!

Comments are appreciated : D

man that is totally awesome can't wait till the the beta

[Mitchman]

Ok cool im not a spriter but I will try just so that 2 day before thing is awarded to me and whoever wins. If I win. I mean im not good and so im taking the easy route with hoot-hoot. Thats not cheating right?

[Vampire://Krimm]

Thanks for the comments ^_^

Good luck with your entry, Darkcookie~

By the way everyone, about the shadows of the Starters. If you can correctly guess that they're based off of, I'll reveal the one sprite. I have no intentions of revealing all three of them at a specific time which means you'll have to wait for the Beta. Unless of course, you guys guess them correctly : D

[riceeman]

Nice Update Krimm! I'm entering the contest. Just done Rattata scratch, doing Pikachu now and possibly Hoothoot.

[Neo-Dragon]

Aw sweet. Really looking forward to the release.
Cool update.
The new tiles look really nice and the map looks cool (as I've said about all of your mapwork lol.)
I'll have a guess at the starters (what they are based on)
The one on the left looks like a cat (or lion/tiger cub- can't decide) and the one on the right is bird- though I don't no what type of bird.
As for the top one.... Don't have a clue lol.

[Wichu]

I'd have a go, but I don't know when the deadline is, so I'm not sure if I'll make it...

I won't be able to get started til Wednesday, so if the deadline is Saturday/Sunday, I'll enter. Good luck to everyone else, though!

[Vampire://Krimm]

Hey, thanks for the comments ^_^ And It made my day to see you posted, Wichu : D

My deadlines are assigned as people enter, so right now there is no assigned due date.

@Neo-Dragon: you're correct with the Cat Pokemon. I'll reveal it tomorrow along with somethine else ^^

[Mitchman]

Ok its a cat a cow based off of turtwig and the water hmmm cant say.Also thnx! Im not goin with that one particular idea but what I have in mind is good!

[ryushin5]

I think the top one looks like a calf (a little cow) and the one on the right looks like some kind of chameleon or lizard of some sort

[Vampire://Krimm]

>___>

Curse you blur tool on Photoshop! I should've used you more! lol. You guys are dead on with
the Kitty and the Cow :3 And Darkcookie, it wasn't based off of Turtwig. It doesn't look anything like it
actually x_x

Now I'll release all three of them together once you guys can guess the last one! Your only hint
is that Ryushin is close with the guess of a lizard.

[Neo-Dragon]

Hmm...
May it's a dinosaur. Kinda has the head of a triceratops (although I can't make out any horns lol).

[Virtual Chatot]

I attempted a Rattata sprite, but failed miserably xP
http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/3628/epicfailurejj5.png

[Waudby]

Is it some sort of snake? It looks a bit round so I thought it could be :P

[ryushin5]

could be some kind of gecko or something

[Vampire://Krimm]

Hmm...
May it's a dinosaur. Kinda has the head of a triceratops (although I can't make out any horns lol).

Ding ding! : D

Nice one, Neo-Dragon XD

Cow, Kitty, and Dinosaur. I'm currently working on the presentation (the tidbits that will come along with the starters)

So why don't we start another game? :3 GUESS WHICH TYPES THEY ARE lol. It's probably obvious though...

*goes back to working*

[Mitchman]

Well the cow is obviously a grass type cat fire and dino water. I mean hello!! Also finaly a non dino grass starter. Yay!

Ding-Ding! :D Congrats to everyone who guessed correctly on the Starters including Darkcookie who guessed all of their types correctly aswell. Now, as promised, here they are revealed~!

http://img353.imageshack.us/img353/8793/startersls2.png

I have a huge-huge-huge thanks to Lich and Nashia, veteran Generation Crew members from the old project for helping me name these guys and not to mention an extra thanks to Nashia for spriting both Bezereen and Amesaur. Now for the name meanings, as you guys will be interested lol.

Bezereen - Portuguese - Mix between young cow + green
Hineko - Japanese - Mix between fire + cat
Amesaur - English/Japanese - Mix between rain + dinosaur

http://img126.imageshack.us/img126/8236/startersscreenqe6.png

And above you can see the current method of obtaining your starter (though you don't know it's yours yet lol.)

The graphics may change eventually, but for the most part that's the setup : D I even gave you a hint as to what is going on lol.

*----*

As a change of pace, the next update won't be in 2 weeks. Infact it'll actually be this weekend on the 4th of July. No, it's not in correspondance with the American Holiday, just a treat :3 (It's cause I know the kids in America will be bored to tears sitting at home waiting for fireworks loool jk). So on the 4th I'll release a literal full map from the game without tiles :3 Aswell as a nice spiffy piece of artwork (hopefully).

I hope you guys all like the starters : D

Great update! I thought that Hineko would be a dog... O_o But anyway I love the sprites.

[Neo-Dragon]

Yay, I guessed 2 out of 3. Not bad lol.
They look really cool.
I like Amesaur the best.
Might pick him lol.

The next update is pretty close, so we all don't have long to wait to see what's in store.
Looking forward to it as usual.

[riceeman]

Awesome! I love the starters, Bezereen all the way! Can't wait for the next update.

LOL GUD GAEM IM LIKIN DA UPDAT

Why does everybody like the blue thingy?! I personally love the Red thingy. Yes, I'm going to continue using the word "thingy" because it's just not like me to memorize fakemon names. D:

The project is really looking fantastic, Krimmsy! And I love the new trees. I didn't know they'd look so great in-game even though I recolored them lol. Keep up the awesome work!

[Virtual Chatot]

I am going to get that cow :p
Great Update <3~

[Vampire://Krimm]

Wow, thanks guys for all the comments ^_^ I really appreciate them, and believe me they keep me motivated~!

So as a treat for all the comments already (we're already on Page 7 o_o)....

Go, Bezereen, Hineko, and Amesaur, I choose you!

Please host to your own server ^_^"

Thanks to Archayos for the base userbar. I would've made one myself but Photoshop wasn't cooperating.

Hope you guys like them : D Show which starter is your favorite!

[Mitchman]

Well bezereen is mine for sure. But I never used a grass type before. Always time for something new right?als on amesaur get rid of the lines on the link of leg with body. It looks like itsa toy dino and the leg comes off. Otherwise bol!

[Neo-Dragon]

Just thinking though, since some people will not know the starters when they are playing, maybe you could show a picture of each one before you chose them. Since those names might confuse anyone who just downloaded a release when coming onto the thread in the future.

[Mitchman]

True true. Also i wanna see the evos of all 3. Im thinking in anxious wait thats why!

[Vampire://Krimm]

Yep, yep XD As I said, it's only the rough stage. After you select one, it takes you to a quick piece of information on it and offers Yes or No, and then you can go back. But yeah, you're right, a Picture would be better.

[Cheryl Cole ♥]

this looks awsome i love the screenshots lol i like the title screen good luck on it

[bian]

I really like your game!!!

good luck...

[Wichu]

Hmm... The starters remind me a lot of Gale's starters (they're based off the same/similar animals). They look pretty good, still. Nice work!

Anyway, I've entered the spriting competition. Everyone else, prepare to lose. >:)

[riceeman]

Oh great, I'm doomed with my two entries...by the way, I'm helping Krimm with his dex :)

[Vampire://Krimm]

Hmm... The starters remind me a lot of Gale's starters (they're based off the same/similar animals). They look pretty good, still. Nice work!

*pounce*

I was waiting for that comment to surface >3

I'm not going into a huge rant mostly because I've got nothing against it lol. It's actually the other way around, Gale's starters look similiar to mine, though he showed his off first : P

Thanks for the comments guys! The official deadline for the Spriting Contest will be Friday the 4th. Remember you may donate more than one entry for the Pokemon, and also apply more than one sprite of the same Pokemon. We've got quite a few already, but keep them coming ^_^

Stay tuned for this Friday's Semi-Update! I'll be releasing a full finalized map of a fantastic City! Along with map, I'll also be revealing the winner of the Contest and finally announcing a new Generation Crew Member.

----

Edit: Woops, yeah, Riceeman is helping me fill up some empty spots in the PokeDex. He also modified the Hineko sprite a bit. The modified version is in the Red Userbar.

[Yuoaman]

Yay! Similarities lol. Well I can't wait to see that new map, it'll be awesome!!

[KurowaSan]

The name 'Bezereen' sounds nice. It sounds like a person from the Brazilian country side saying "little calf". XD
Everything is looking really nice! Keep on with the good work!

[BassMan5t9]

Your hack is amazing. Please don't give up. If you do....I won't go there.jk

[Mitchman]

>,< not goin to say a word not goin to get angry. Please refer to it as a game not a HACK! We have different areas for a reason. Here we dont have haxors. Also that update is goin to be good I hope.

[Vampire://Krimm]

lol. HAXORs.

@ Bassman: This is actually a 'game' being used with RPG Maker XP. In no way are we using the scripts from old Pokemon games.

---

So guys, what's up? XD It turns out this Friday's news is going to be a bit more than what I thought it would be. A lot is happening, and all of it is good news :3

[Yuoaman]

It'd better be.... I don't much care for crying... Nope, not at all.... Anyway can't wait 'til the 4th!!

[bruna]

A game with great graphics
great quality
minis perfect
magnificent qualities


Why not lancing a demo?
Data ?/ ? / ?

[Vampire://Krimm]

Oh so much good news, guys : D I WAS working on a Video Advertisement however for some reason when I add HyperCam Videos onto the Timeline on Windows Movie Maker, the quality dramatically decreases. Can anyone help me? D:

By the way, here's a preview of a new Town I'm working on : D I haven't populated it with NPC's yet or sign events (except that one lol).

http://i311.photobucket.com/albums/kk460/VisualKei_Krimm/WIP.png

[Yuoaman]

HeeHee.... Pecha Town.... It's just like the Berry.... HeeHee...

Awesome job man, lol.

[Atomic Reactor]

hmm... that sighn lies

to the west is uh... more trees! 0_o

lol

[Douger]

Wow, this is really turning out to be a nice looking game!
When you're done, you'll HAVE to let me try the demo.

What program are you using to make this? RPG Maker? Advanced Map?
I'd really like to know to help evolve my game. (no thread yet)

But anyway, I'm really liking this. Great screenshots!

[Yuoaman]

Umm... If you read the first post this is being made with RMXP (RPG Maker), Advanced Map is used for Rom-Hacking, and this isn't a Rom-Hacking forum... O.o

Anyway, again, nice screens Krimm!

[Vampire://Krimm]

@Atomic_Reactor: The light grass with that indentation in the trees is a Forest Entrance XD

@Douger: Hey, a new face! Thanks, and as Yuoaman said I'm using RPG Maker XP.

Woot! I also just finished a new Gym for a new Region (as the Gym Building changes appearance throughout Regions). You guys will see it along with the mega-map I'm revealing tomorrow lol. :3

Now time to go start eventing Pecha Town *sigh*

[Yuoaman]

Hey... I'd do it for you if I was there... but I'm not lol....

[RSLaehnart]

Okay so in the short time I was away I missed a lot. So I'll start off by saying that the cave entrance tile for Scarlet cave looks weird. I'm loving how things are coming together, and a Beta? That's just cool.

Three starters look awesome, I'm going to choose the water one. (Might try the others later...) Barely got my entrance for that contest in at the last minute... Loving that whole contest, can't wait to see who won (I secretly hope it's me, but it's too much to hope for...) and what the winners look like.

OMG the trees! I love them even more now then I did when I first saw them and was the only one to comment on them. (Don't believe me? read back a bit. lolz) The tall single-tile-width ones are SO great! Did you do them yourself Krimm?

Anyway now I'm ranting about how good this game is and how much it kicks everyone else's @$$ from here to anywhere! Keep up the good work!

PS: Can't wait to see those maps you mentioned Krimm.

[Vampire://Krimm]

loool.

Yes, you have been gone for ahwile! Your entry is right on time, and the winners will be announced later today. or tomorrow...I hate timezones.

XD Yes, I remember you being the first to comment on the trees. I didn't say anything because I wanted to see if anyone else would point them out. No, I didn't make the two tile trees myself : P Almost all of the nature tiles are Kyledove's.

So, hopefully that answers your questions XD And I'm only releasing a single map, sadly, but it should count for like, 4 <_< Yes, it'll be revealed soon lol.

[Jynx Middata]

I can't wait to see who the new Crew member is.

Keep up the good work.

[H2O Turquoise]

I like the starters, and the tiles are nice, too!

I wish you best of luck

[Patjuh09]

I really dont know wich starter i should choose, so maybe i know it when i see them in final form. Also i have a question: Will you be able to choose between different files. (like file a, b and c or 1, 2 and 3)

[BlackRainbow*]

Yaaai. I'm waiting for new update todaay. Can't wait to see it. I really love this game. I'm fully supporting you guys.

[BassMan5t9]

Looking great . keep it up

Oh my x_x I've been incredibly busy these past few days and amazingly this update has done nothing but built up in the small time that it was announced! Well, I just got back from a Party, and I'm pumped so let's get this update rolling~!

First things first, I am more than happy to announce 4 NEW GENERATION CREW MEMBERS o__o I swear the amount of new members just kept on building! Firstly, I'm happy to welcome two new comers, Yuoaman and Jynx~! Yuoaman has taken on the tough task of being the PokeDexer of the Outa Region, while Jynx will do the noble task of making the returning Pokemon feel fresh and new aswell as doing various other Spriting Tasks. Now for the other two, whom I'm incredibly happy to announce. These two are both veteran Generation Crew members that have decided to return. Nashia, our spriter who has committed more than half of our new Pokemon, has agreed to return part time and continue spriting for us ^^ Along with her is Lich, who will be doing assorted spriting, Music Remixes, aswell as support. These four new members will truly make NeoEras revolutionary!

Now before all of your minds explode, let's throw you some nice pictures, shall we? Now for the promised revelation, the finalized city map!

http://i311.photobucket.com/albums/kk460/VisualKei_Krimm/MaresiaMapIcon.png (http://img387.imageshack.us/img387/4646/maresiacitythreadmapcq3.png)

Next up, I am also incredibly happy to announce that the NeoEras forum is Officially Completed! The forum will be the center stronghold of the Generations Crew, also where people from around the net may come to discuss the project and donate their ideas. The board was originally the successful forum of my old project, Pokemon NextGen, which is why we have 694 members already lol. As well as various other posts already.

You can find the link to the forum through my profile, or through...The Game Installment Advertisement Video! >__<

--> Video Advertisement (http://youtube.com/watch?v=-lURu1GEYfg)

So now both of our Spriting and Music needs are quenched, So now let's continue to...the Contest Winners <-- !!

In the Ratatta Category, the winner is....


http://i311.photobucket.com/albums/kk460/VisualKei_Krimm/Ratatta-1.png

Riceeman <-- : D CONGRATS~


In the Pikachu Category, the winner is....


http://i311.photobucket.com/albums/kk460/VisualKei_Krimm/Pikachu.png

Wichu <-- : D CONGRATS~
I have to admit, the Pikachu was definitely a close call, if I could I would've had both of the top contestants in the game, but I couldn't do that. The runner up was RSLaehnart!


And Finally, in the Hoothoot Category, the winner is...


http://i311.photobucket.com/albums/kk460/VisualKei_Krimm/hoothootns5.png

Wichu Again <-- : D CONGRATS~
Heeeey guys, the easiest sprite and Wichu is the only one to enter in the category?! D:


Congratulations to the winners~! You two will both receive the Beta Installment exactly 2 Days before the release, giving you a head start and a play at the game before anyone else gets to! Good job guys!

And of course a special thanks to everyone who entered!

[css-div="color: #3366cc; font-weight: bold; font-size: 120%; border-bottom: 1px solid #555555; width: 80%;"]Beta Installment -- Progress Report[css-span="font-weight: normal; padding-left: 6px; font-size: 60%;"]July 4th, 08[/css-span][/css-div]

Alright, so now I assume it would be fair to update you all on the progress of the Installment! Well, the Video Advertisement is for the Beta, so all the areas and battles you see in that video are areas that will be in the Beta. Other than that, I've officially finished revamping and modifying the maps that will be featured in the Beta, so now I'm beginning heavy eventing. Once the eventing is completed, the release of the demo will depend on how fast Yuoaman can Archive the 30 NEW POKEMON that will be scattered in the game and how fast Nashia can sprite backsprites XD

Meh. MORE WALLS OF TEXTS! So let's break that with a screenshot of the Installment : D

So there you have it, the fourth of July Update!

Stay tuned,
-- Krimm

[/css-div]

Attention All Members of PC: We're recruiting a Sugimori artist!
Anyone who knows how to draw and color, or even do pixel arts of
Pokemon is welcome to join us! We're highly interested in getting
some arts for new Pokemon to spice up the updates!

[Saidai No Soba-Ya]

nice new gym ^_^
keep up the good work Krimm!

[Virtual Chatot]

This is just a wonderful update! The beta preview just looks awesome!
Kudos to the staff for getting this far xP

I would help your project, but all I can do is map in RMXP and make some music pieces.

[Vampire://Krimm]

Thanks for the comments you guys! I would've had more planned for the forum but I got sort of tied up with things today. But I promise to keep plenty of things active on the Forum.

As a note to you guys, the Forum will be updated with progress of the Game itself more often, meaning more screenshots and more details, mainly because it is the center of our work. HOWEVER I assure you I will bring you guys major updates like I have been every week or 2 weeks, depending on the size of the update.

And I'll have all the stuffs on the new Crew members hopefully by the end of the weekend x_x So many people's information to get lol.

[Yuoaman]

STOP PRESSURING ME!!

o.O

lol Anyway, it's great being on the team, and I am nearly done my first assignment...

[RSLaehnart]

I knew it! I knew someone would beat me! lol
It's nice to know it was close though. ^^ I based the sprite I did on a Pikachu found in the episode "Pikachu's Goodbye" of the show. Start to finish (that's finding the fire red pikachu sprite for it's colors, opening the episode and watching for the Pika I wanted to do, and finally spriting it) took me only about 2 hours. Just thought that might interest someone.
(Sprite can be found on my photobucket for those interested. I use the same name there as I do here.)

Map looks great and I can't wait for the beta. This is going to be so boss! Keep it up guys your loyal fans await! ^^

[blueguy]

The game is looking really splendid. I can tell that you're taking your time to think about details and stuff. I'm looking forward to the beta. ^_^

[Douger]

I agree with blueguy completely! It looks really great with its nice new features, and I would love to play your beta! Hope it's finished soon!

[Mitchman]

Yay update! Damn i should have entered my sprite. Well i was today cause for me its the 5th but damn you wichu. Anyweh im goin to say that gym is excellent.

[riceeman]

Wow, I won! *dances* I'm really surprised at that!

[Maleficent]

Now.
Sorry about being so inactive lately, just lots of things have been happening.

Love all the new updates, and keep me informed.

[Saiyu]

Hey everyone! Sorry about my inactive-ness. I've been at SeaWorld Camp all week walking around all day, touching dead fish, going into 30 degree freezers, and lifting 50 pound bags of ice cold -- ice >>''

But seriously, it was fun :3 (Just got back today)

I see I missed a lot of great updates, but I just finished reading them. -gasp- Starters have been revealed! ... But its not a surprise to me seeing that I have them and the majority of the new pokemon on my computer >> But I'm glad everyone likes them! I think I want the fire kitty in my siggy :3

Congratz to Riceeman and Wiichu on winning the contest! My favorite is the Hoothoot <3 It has that new car smell! I do have a couple comments on the other 2 though. They're great sprites, only Pikachu's eyes are a teeny weeny bit messed up. EDIT: I said just a little bit D= Not a big deal, just my opinion.

-cough- Anyways, now that I am back from hell Camp, I will attempt to become more active =D

And everytime I post, I'll be posting a random camp song that I learned at camp! Yay random camp songs~!

Wow... This is looking super-awesome-amazing-hardcore.
8D

Keep up the good work!

[BassMan5t9]

can't wait for the beta. ive been so bored all summer cause all ive been doing is playing other demos from the hacks showcase.

BTW Krimm, i clicked on the link in your sig for the neo eras forum cause i was bored and boy was i in for a suprise. ^^

[iRawr-x]

I like it but will it be in English aswell?

[H2O Turquoise]

I like it but will it be in English aswell?
It IS in Englishl...

I like the fire starter most, and I can't wait to see its evolutions. BOL!

[Vampire://Krimm]

Bzoo~!

Hay guys, thanks for the comments ^_^~

I apologize for the lack of activities on the Forum. I'm currently working on another advertisement that I did with NextGen which will hopefully reel in another 600 members XD Along with that I'll be re updating the boards and offering more things to do.

In anycase....

http://i311.photobucket.com/albums/kk460/VisualKei_Krimm/Whosthat.png

: D I'll begin sending shadows of Pokemon that will be available in the Beta more and more, so here's your first shadow!

And of course, what I've been working on...

http://i311.photobucket.com/albums/kk460/VisualKei_Krimm/IntroNess.png

Stupid eventing *stabs RMXP* Thanks for the comments guys, keep it up ^_^ I'll try to have a more eye-appealing update for you guys some time later.

See ya,
Krimm ~!

[ryushin5]

it looks like a crab or a lobster of some sort

[Atomic Reactor]

i wanna say some sort of octupus... or squid.
maybe an evolution of octillery?
idk ...

keep up the good work.

[H2O Turquoise]

I think it's a flying dragon...
I wonder where you got lobsters and octopuses from O.o

[Neo-Dragon]

I'm wrecking my brain trying to figure out what the shadow is.
Ha.
Eh...
No idea.

[Vampire://Krimm]

lol, so far you're all wrong. I'll give you a hint, it's Grass Type. And It's highly unlikely that you'll guess what it is XD

Woot, I'm doing more eventing! I call it stalking the grandma event! lol.

[ryushin5]

i don't know i'm just going to say its a kangaroo or a rat

[RSLaehnart]

is it some kind of chimp?

[Atomic Reactor]

it looks like it could be some sort of critter throwing its leg into the air as to kick something?

ugh... dont scold me for being wrong -_-'

[Vampire://Krimm]

Alright, I've been working on the Eventing since about 8 am this morning and so far it's going good. Most of the beginning eventing is completed aside from a few bugs and some dialog that needs changing. All that's left is fixing up the Rival Battles, finished the inside maps in Maresia City and Pecha Town, the Pokemon backsprites, and the PokeDex.

And with the Gen Crew working hard on their areas, I'm able to say the Beta is about 55% complete at the moment, and will hopefully continue at a fast pace.

HOWEVER I am in need for somene who can do Backsprites x_x Nashia is up to working on them however everyone agrees that 30 Pokemon Backsprites are too much for one person to do in such a short period. So I am currently looking for a backspriter.

[ryushin5]

i think i got it is it a new evolution for gloom

[Saidai No Soba-Ya]

the shadow looks like a flower ^_^

[bian]

looks like a smeargle's pre-evo because of it's appearance..

(hey wait a minute...how can be smeargle a grass type lol!!!.... XD)

[H2O Turquoise]

It's saying FLLUUU~! So it must be some kind of and elegant Pokemon. Maybe a Pre-evo of Tropius O.o?

[Vampire://Krimm]

Flower + Elegant. You guys are incredibly close. I could probably reveal the sprite now since you're so dead on, but WHAT WOULD BE THE FUN IN THAT? XDD

~Here you guys go, another quick snapshot.

http://i311.photobucket.com/albums/kk460/VisualKei_Krimm/NewProf.png

I've modified the introduction with new text and of course, changed the font color to blue since Professor Eliwood is a guy :3 [gasp a professor not named maple]

And yep, that's his sprite : D Special thanks to Saiyu, our Trainer Sprite specialist ^^

By the way, before you ask, the reason why he's wearing shorts is because he's out in the woods a lot, studying Pokemon Habitats. That is also why his Lab is on a route : D

[Atomic Reactor]

it looks good and all krimm...
but the name eliwood makes him sound like a wimp lol.
why not ironwood? or tamaracks? (other trees)

i personally dont like eliwood

[Mitchman]

Aha the pokemon is no other but flegant! Or flowegant! One of the 2. Also hmm eliwood is nice. It goes like elisah woofd but just eli wood. Geddit?

[Yuoaman]

Ooh Ooh I know what the sprite is ooh!! ...But I can't guess.... I'm not allowed... (Krimm and his stupid rules XD) Anyways I'm pretty sure you're not going to get it.... Also the professor sprite is great... but 'Eliwood' XD. Anyways, awesome job Krimm!

*Goes back to work*

[Saiyu]

-Gasp- My sprite is loved! <3 I personally think the head looks weird now that I look at it but meh... Too lazy to fix it... (Yes I just insulted my own work xD)

HURRAH FOR THE FIRST SLIM PROFESSOR!!!!

So Krimm? When are you going to show them the sprite? o_o They're probably never going to get a bull's eye. I don't even know what to call it and I've seen it >>" (Looks amazing none-the-less)

Yesh! It's that time again! Time for RANDOM CAMP SONG #2!

Wow, long ^^

[InMooseWeTrust]

I'm liking the overworld tileset. Who made it? May I have permission to use it if I give the maker credit?

[marinos519]

Ha i know!That pokemon is a grass pokemon of the new gen pokemon this team makes!
You can see him opening his mouthand his weird tongue coming out

[Jynx Middata]

I know that Camps ong, Saiyu! But we included fast, slow, quiet and loud.

[Saidai No Soba-Ya]

^_^ the professor somehow looks like Prof. Birch except skinnier

[RSLaehnart]

Your so mean not telling use what it is! X3 jk
55%!!! Way to go guys!

[Vampire://Krimm]

Yep, mainly because I waited to announce the Beta until we had a good percentage done :3

Awww @ you guys. Everyone be dishing at Professor Eliwood lol. I have a modified sprite that Saiyu did, but there isn't a huge difference so I won't be updating the screen : P

ANYWAY~ I am eventing more than ever x_x And proudly I say I think I'm getting better! lol. With most of the eventing done in the Beta, I'm currently fixing up some iffy areas and making things run smoother. Other than that, the release of the Beta entirely relies on how fast Yuoaman and Nashia can work on the new Pokemon XD

--> *goes back to mapping a secret*

[Decypher]

I think the the professor looks great. The whole game looks great. I can't wait for a release of the game.

[Yuoaman]

o_O

Yeah... Krimm, you've just put pressure on me... I can't work under pressure!

XD

Anyway, work is coming along, I just finished some work today, and my head hurts...

[RSLaehnart]

I don't see anything wrong with Eliwood. Though he does seem to just be another professor you'll meet once and forget about for the remainder of the game. (I mean really, they all were!)
Are you going to do something special with him? Like have him show up in various areas during the game like that guy (I think his name was Steven..?) did in Ruby?

[weavile 824]

nice game like the fact that there's new pokemon i feel some of of the other games get boring raising the same teams all over again

[Saidai No Soba-Ya]

mapping a secret a ^_^
lol
such a secret *tsk* *tsk*
when can we see the sprite? :3

[Vampire://Krimm]

thanks for the comments guys : D OH GEE I didn't notice we were on page 10 already lool. Good job everyone ^^

@RSLaehnart: The professor shows up more than the normal professor, but doesn't exactly play a major role XD

@Red Gyrados: lol, yes, a secret. I'll actually be posting a screenshot of the secret along with the sprite tomorrow. So yeah, stay tuned for that XD

[Atomic Reactor]

so uh...
will you be changing the name?
or leave him to sound like a wimp
XD

Αny hints at least?I mean your being a bit to ecretive for guessing to happen.

[Atomic Reactor]

the sprite oculd use some darker outlining on some spots.

has this city been in any other games?

[megiddo]

Is this place from one of the official games, or is it new?

[Wichu]

I think I know what it is~

He wouldn't ask you to guess the name of it if it hadn't been anywhere before...

Oh, and that Pokémon Center has a similar concept to mine (the FRLG one with a semicylindric roof - yay for uncommon words). Here's mine, for reference:
http://img58.imageshack.us/img58/244/pokemoncenterkr3.png
We have different roof patterns, though. And on yours, I'd change the yellowish colour to a redder one.

[shinylugia249]

Yeah, it reminds me of Slateport City.

[megiddo]

Alright, then I am guessing Slateport City ^_^.

I seriously lol'ed at Atomic_Reactor lool. Same with you guys posting randomly the name. GOOD GOING XD Now I have to post the winner right away. Thankfully, someone actually PMed me before the name was on the thread, so technically the winner is...

--> Wichu, again! <-- he keeps on winning things lol

Congrats to the official winner! They will be receiving the full map fairly soon here, however they are not to show it to others <_<

Stay Tuned for MORE contests similiar to this one, as I will be having a Mapping Balooza of areas outiside of Outa!
[/css-div]

[Atomic Reactor]

ugh! i meant slateport!
but said the wrong name -_-'

owell.
more fish in the sea...
or, more contests on PC
same thing.

[Virtual Chatot]

That is totally messed up, I just say the first picture and was like, "Holy Crap! That's Slateport!!! :<". Then I noticed that someone had already said the answer ;(

I am going to be watching this thread more often now, I want to win something :>

[Yono]

This looks awesome in my opinion, just learned about his project recently.

[H2O Turquoise]

Slateport?! O.o
Does that mean we're visiting Hoenn?

[Vampire://Krimm]

@ Virtual Chatot: lool. Sorry about that. Next time I won't be having people posting in the thread the name XD. However yes, another contest should be rolling along soon, I'm just debating whether or not I should do the other map I have..or..another one. x_x

@Time Knight: Hey, thanks ^_^ We're all glad that you like the Project.

@IceCharizard: Hmm, yes, I believe it's somewhere in the introductory post. But who reads those anyway? looool. Infact nearly all of Hoenn is accessable in NeoEras.

Progress just..fell down alot XD. So far we have 4 Backsprites out of 20 Pokemon in the Demo. Yes, I did a recount for the routes and I ended up dropping the Pokemon to 20 New ones so save time and so you don't have to spend hours in a route looking for the 5 new Pokemon XD

AND...

Quite soon here I'll be remodelling the introductory post and the updating method. It should look remotely the same to what we have now, if not a lot nicer. It'll also be quote-proof <_< *cough*

[Saiyu]

Hey guys! Just dropping by to say that the Hoenn Maps are looking awesome! I watched Krimm make a couple :3 I've also been getting better at making trainer sprites and Krimm might post one of them later <3

And why is everyone complaining about professor Eliwood being a wimp? ;_; I decided to remake him so he wouldn't need a name change >.< Unless you want him to be named Edward Cherrytree... Didn't think so ^^


PRESENTING THE NEW BUFF PROFESSOR!!!
